Q4:

Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the world’s social wasps, wasps living in a highly cooperative and organized society where they consist almost entirely of females—the queen and her sterile female workers.

wasps living in a highly cooperative and organized society where they consist almost entirely of

wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting almost entirely of

which means they live in a highly cooperative and organized society, almost all

which means that their society is highly cooperative, organized, and it is almost entirely

living in a society that is highly cooperative, organized, and it consists of almost all

答案是B, 但我选A, 关键问题是到底是wasps consist of females 还是society consists of females. 另一疑惑是 almost entirely of 和almost all of 有什么区别?

谢谢.

我认为应该是consist of ....是修饰society的；almost entirely 和almost all of 的区别：entirely是副词应该修饰动词consist，“几乎全部由雌蜂组成”，而all of 修饰名词female，“几乎由所有的雌蜂组成”。。。

我认为应该是consist of ....是修饰society的

为什么呢? 继续赐教.

我也同意AB選一個，我覺得選B不選A的關鍵應該不是你講的那兩個"關鍵"，仔細比較這兩個選項

A.wasps living in a highly cooperative and organized society where they consist almost entirely of

B.wasps that live in a highly cooperative and organized society consisting almost entirely of

我們發現A是在wasps that live 改成了wasps living, 但後面則維持where they consist; B選項則是維持wasps that live ，但後半段則是簡化為consisting....

請教有何差異

以下是引用passion2win在2004-8-10 10:44:00的发言：

Choice A: They refers to wasps. so, that wasps consist of female is not logical.

Choice B: That society consist of female makes sense.

In A "where" is wrong it should be changed to "in which" at least.  Be is briefer.

A错B对

A错误原因：where指代地方，这里应该用which

B：consisting修饰前面的整个句子

GWD1-4不是阅读题吗？

请问,如果翻译的话,这句话应该如何翻译啊?

WASPS THAT...是不是同位语?

偶的答案是A 偶也选的A

根据原句的意思:they consist almost entirely of

这里的they代wasps 指的是wasps consist of females

where 应该是in which,即in the society的意思,但比in which 简洁

觉得B 中that live 不如living简洁,而且后面的consisting到底是就近修饰society还是修饰逻辑主语wasps也不太清楚,即便这里consisting只能就近修饰,也改变了原句意思
